We have reached day one of Iceland Airwaves Music Festival, and the anticipation in Reykjavik is palatable. Locals and visitors alike are milling about town, getting ready for the big week to come. Here at KEX Hostel, KEXP is putting the finishing touches on preparations for an incredible week of live music. You can catch today’s performances live on air, stream from the KEXP website, or stream live video on Facebook to feel like you’re right here with us in the middle of the action. Today’s schedule includes recently-reunited Icelandic indie-rock band Suð, beautiful music from Icelandic electronic outfit Gangly, a guaranteed party from Icelandic psych-rockers Singapore Sling, and rounding out the day with a performance from garage rock legends The Sonics.

06:00AM PST/ 09:00AM EST – SUÐ

08:30AM PST/ 11:30AM EST – Gangly
